Eli is like Nick Swisher, he can hit a grand slam once in a while, but he's not an all-star.

Eli is like Jackie Chan, he can make his Kung Fu look pretty d***ling on film, but he's really not that good of a martial artist because his background actually comes from circus stunts as a kid and would get his butt handed to him by Jet Lee, the real champ.

Totally off on that one. Nick Swisher was dependable and productive in the regular season and then just totally disappeared in the postseason year after year. Eli Manning on the other hand is inconsistent and flies under the radar in the regular season, but had 2 really good postseason which resulted in championships.

As for Eli getting his butt handed to him by the "real champ" he has bested Brett Favre's 13-3 Packers, Tom Brady's 16-0 Patriots, Aaron Rodgers 15-1 Packers, the 13-3 49ers, and Tom Brady's 13-3 Patriots.

The year Eli came out for the draft in retrospect was good for him because at the time the so-called top prospect QBs came from Miami of Ohio, not exactly a powerhouse program, and NC State, again not a powerhouse program, making Eli's stock rise more than he probably deserved plus the fact that Giants were desperate for a franchise QB and they reached with everything possible. If Eli came out this year with Andrew Luck and RGIII among others, I doubt Eli would even be picked in the first round.

College career ;

Eli Manning during his tenure at the University of Mississippi.
Prior to deciding which college to attend, Manning received a call from David Cutcliffe, formerly the offensive coordinator at the University of Tennessee.[3]
During his years with the Rebels at Ole Miss, Manning set or tied 45 single-game, season, and career records. His career numbers include 10,119 passing yards (fifth on the SEC career list), 81 touchdown passes (third on the SEC career list), and a passer rating of 137.7 (tied for sixth on the SEC career list). Manning also led the Rebels to a 10-3 record and a 31-28 SBC Cotton Bowl Classic victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys in 2003. He was invited to play in the 2004 Senior Bowl, but chose not to play.[4]
As his senior year came to a close, Manning won many awards including the Maxwell Award as the nation’s best all-around player, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete Award, the Sporting News Radio Socrates Award, and the SEC Most Valuable Player Award. He was also a candidate for the Heisman Trophy, finishing third in the voting after winning quarterback Jason White of the University of Oklahoma and University of Pittsburgh wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.[5]
Manning graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in marketing and a GPA of 3.44.[6]

I follow college football close enough, but the year Eli came out he didn't really stood out to me until the draft.

Anyway, college career mean very little in the pros, and seeing that Rivers has more pro bowl selections and a better career QB rating than Eli says it all about how inconsistent Eli is.

But were they two time Super Bowl MVPs?That argument is unnecessary, although valid. It should be clear to Hooligans that Manning's role is far more substantial than that of Dilfer (2000) or Johnson (2002). You can possible make that argument with Eli's first SB, but you'd be reaching for the second.

playing, AND ONE OF THE WORST OFFENSIVE LINES THE GIANTS HAVE HAD IN YEARS....its no surprise some

of you just absolutely cannot see the forest for the trees. What a joke. Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled, recently-turned-NFL-

The massive contradiction by the Eli homers is truly hilarious.
The 2 Super Bowl defense that they ONLY have for Eli is designed to mask the inconsistent individual player that is Eli which is the actual point of comparison between him and the other QBs. Yet knowing that Eli's stats simply aren't good enough, they fall back on the Super Bowl defense over and over and over.

Yet when other QBs with better stats and being more successful this season are mentioned, the desperate Eli homers resorts to "It's a team sport" rhetoric, thereby attempting to deflect the notion that any other QB in history could possibly be better than Eli "rain man" Manning.

In the end, the sheer blind-sided, short-sighted, and rose-colored Eli homers take the cake every time for being the most delusional bunch of the lot.

Bravo.

Eli is like any QB forced to play behind an aging OL that doesn't give him time to throw, and receivers who can't get open and then drop the ball when they do, and a Defense that let scores get out of control and couldn't get the ball back to the offense with a fighting chance!
Everyone keeps blaming Eli, when in reality, he probably could have come back and won many of those games we were behind in had the D been able to keep even one of them close.

Please don't apologize sir, maybe it is my fault that I nonchalantly assumed that every person was capable of identifying satire, a comic relief, a tongue in cheek literature in hopes of creating a don't take yourself too seriously type of atmosphere instead of tightening every fiber of your underwear in a knot from your overly paranoid fixation and bias towards Eli.

Likewise, there's no need to apologize to me for your failed attempts at levity. Relating satire through text is not easy. It's certainly not for the faint of heart nor for those who find themselves a few touchdowns short of a triple digit IQ.

All that said, good luck finding any posts from me that qualify me as an Eli homer; I know exactly what he is and what he ain't. However, pointing out ridiculous, moronic bloviating is hardly the same as being an Eli homer. A couple of posters here can criticize Eli without it becoming farcical, but not many. There's no shame in not being able to reach those heights.
